Chord Diagrams Redux   Message List

Re: [abcusers] Chord Diagrams Redux

Hi,

I know that this is not intuitive, but, replace:
# with \201
and
b with \202

Examples:
(E/G\201) (- 4 x 2 4 0 0) brac
(E\202) (- x x 1 3 4 3) brac

That is because abcm2ps replaces # and b for a code which is replaced
with Postscript accidentals (the glyphs are generated by abcm2ps: they
are not characters from the 'original' fonts).
